Fz s blue core

According to the popular view of the Earth's formation, about one billion years ago, our planet's molten liquid inner core spontaneously began to crystallise, growing rapidly to the extent that it reaches today – around 760 miles in diameter. However, a new study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters contradicts this theory, suggesting it is impossible. Researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio argue that the standard narrative is overlooking a key detail of how crystals form, namely, that they require a huge drop in temperature that is unlikely to have happened inside the core. In fact, once this is taken into account, the team suggest that the Earth's inner core shouldn't exist at all. "Everyone, ourselves included, seemed to be missing this big problem, that metals don't start crystallising instantly unless something is there that lowers the energy barrier a lot," said author Steven Hauck, a professor of Earth, Environmental and Planetary … [Read more...] about Formation of the Earth’s inner core is so baffling, scientists say it shouldn’t exist

So it's Blue Monday again - or is it? And what does that mean? It is generally thought of as falling on the third Monday of January (i.e. today), but some people claim it is the second or fourth, or even the Monday of the last full week of the month. The concept was created in 2005 for a Sky Travel press release - the idea being that the glummest day of the year would be a great time to plan a holiday. Psychologist Dr Cliff Arnall had his name next to the formula, which was as follows: ([W + (D-d)] x TQ)/M x NA In the formula, W=weather, D=debt, d=monthly salary, T=time since Christmas, Q=time since failing our new year’s resolutions, M=low motivational levels, and Na=the feeling of a need to take action. If that's confusing, don't worry - it barely makes any sense. Dr Arnall did not give any idea how to measure the values - what is one unit of "low motivation levels", for example? This did not stop him producing a similar formula for Wall's Ice Cream in 2006 … [Read more...] about It’s Blue Monday today

A puzzling mystery which saw a river turn bizarre shades of blue and green has been solved following an investigation. Experts were left baffled after pictures of the stream off the River Ouse emerged which showed the water would appear in bright colours in Huntingdon, Cambs. A probe was launched after dog walkers reported a strange discolouring in the water, which reportedly left pets ill after they swam nearby. Anglian Water have now confirmed the water was contaminated from a leak to a nearby business, which it has declined to name, the Cambridge News reports. Their investigation is ongoing but the firm says the issue has been rectified. Natalie Maca was among those concerned by the stream. She said: "I walk past there a lot. It changes colour; sometimes it's blue, sometimes it's green. "It's not just the one day it happens nearly every day. It's been happening for months. "It's a soapy liquid, but I have no idea what it is - I'm no expert. I've spoken to a couple of locals and … [Read more...] about Mystery behind river that turned bizarre shades of bright blue and green has been solved

THE BBC's Blue Planet II has been accused of "fake news" over claims the heartbreaking death of a baby whale was caused by plastic pollution.Viewers were shown emotional footage of a whale cradling her dead newborn through the ocean as David Attenborough warned about the impact of pollution.But Malcolm Hudson, associate professor in environmental sciences at Southampton University, was among viewers who questioned whether the link between pollution and the baby's death had been proved.He tweeted: "I love Blue Planet II but that scene linking the dead baby whale to plastic pollution seemed questionable. Marine plastic is a massive problem - make the case with evidence, not hype, BBC Earth."Dr Hudson is an expert on marine pollution and has worked on research grants from Defra and Natural England.He later told Mail Online: "My first reaction was that I didn't really want to say anything because this is a really important issue and it's really very good that they're getting … [Read more...] about Was Blue Planet II’s baby whale death scene FAKED?

Each week there seems to be a standout character in BBC's Blue Planet II that encapsulates audiences from beneath the sea. Be it the transgender Kobudai wrasse fish causing a stir in the depths below, after the great Sir David Attenborough revealed the females can change sex once they reach a certain size. Or last week's sea toad , who stole the attention of viewers after Sir David informed us the fish had transformed its fins into feet. Now this week - on the episode dedicated to the world's coral reefs - we're already captivated by a little wormy sea dweller by the scientific name of 'Eunice aphroditois'. Blue Planet film crew were attacked by sharks in feeding frenzy as they tried to film grouper fish mating But not for any glamorous reason. Otherwise known as the, wait for it, "Bobbit", we soon learn the cutesy name adds nothing to this creature's aggressive temperament. Presenter Sir David says of the predator: “It’s a giant carnivorous worm with a jaw as sharp … [Read more...] about Move over Jaws: This week’s Blue Planet villain is an ‘evil’ phallic-shaped worm named the… Bobbit

CHARLIE APPLEBY'S Blue Point is reported to be in tip-top shape ahead of Saturday's John Guest Bengough Stakes at Ascot.It will be William Buick's first ride after returning from eight weeks on the sidelines following his fall at Arlington.Blue Point was last seen finishing fourth in the 32Red Sprint Cup at Haydock and Appleby reckons that will have blown the cobwebs again.Appleby said: "He's in really good form. We've been delighted with him since Haydock. That was his first run since Royal Ascot and he'd probably done a bit too well over the summer."We think he's definitely improved from that run going into Saturday. He has come forward a good bit, mentally and physically."Getting back on a bit better ground will definitely help and if he can reproduce any of his previous runs at Ascot it will put him right in the mix."Rather than throw ourselves back in at the deep end again and go straight to Champions Day, we thought we'd go to Ascot and take it from there. He looks the one to … [Read more...] about Charlie Appleby’s Blue Point ready to roll in Saturday’s John Guest Bengough Stakes at Ascot racecourse
